I know, I keep trying to use key combos and remember I have to use the stupid keyboard viewer. As for "minor prophets" not coming from a Christian background I don't fully understand any of it. The testaments are very contradictory!

Of course my optimism in that moment does not preclude my having meltdowns and tantrums and fighting with asshats. Multitudes after all. Whitman knew what he was being poetic about.

I'm getting so exhausted with this binary divide between humans here and globally. My way or yours. What happened to containing multitudes? We are not one thing. Nothing is. So yes, more beauty FTW!

Yep! Interesting, eh? Origins of words/sayings fascinate me. Okay, worse. I'm totally lexically obsessive. Symbols too. Spectrum kids rock! :D

And I love you. FYI, the wonderfully thick @NAGW blanket gift I got from y'all too many years ago has been passed along to a homeless woman to keep warmer. It felt odd yet right to give it. I have other blankets xo

Indeed ;-) I'm old. I'm isolated. I'm bored as I have a hyperactive mind in a very sick body. I must amuse myself. And I did warn everyone it was gonna get mighty colorful around here now! You, my dear, are a pip!

I'm not sure what the "natural way to a better high" means to a medical patient, but you're welcome and tell me more!

Hehe, between the two of us we could fill all social media with #LasVegas sunrises and sunsets, making it a gorgeous place instead of a Fight Club.

No filter! Not even. And when I came out of the Walgreens there, it was gone. Just like that. Every morning, every night, a new glory to behold in that sky!

Thank you Matt! We have a very active social community working on all kinds of solutions. We also have one of the largest homeless probs in the world due to the amount of human waste. I'm getting very eco-aware as a result! :)
This is actually in the Bible, Sarah - New Testament (Matthew I think?). I didn't read that part 'til I studied theology in college. I have long heard the nautical take-off. "Red sky in morning, Sailors take warning, Red sky at night, sailors delight!" ⚓️ nitter.vloup.ch/slewth/status/93…

Yes, and the choking. It's such a powerful quote, I thought "wow, times change but yet, they don't."

"When truth is buried,
it grows.
It chokes.
It gathers such an explosive force
that on the day it bursts out
it blows up everything with it."

I know. #LasVegas has one of the worst homeless problems for obvious reasons. I give blankets and coffee. These are human beings and not at all what middle class assumptions are about homeless.
I've spent my life working with "standards" and I can honestly say that time standards are one of the worst examples of a logical, broadly understood set of NONSENSE! :)

I don't mind living in a ghetto. People need to get over their affluenza. I want to go full on Mr. Robot some days. *sigh*
